Blake Shelton, known for his country hits, ventured into gospel music around a decade ago. This exploration began with "Savior's Shadow," co-written by Shelton after a challenging period in his life. The song, inspired by a dream in 2015, became the closing track on his 2016 album, 'If I'm Honest'.
Shelton initially interpreted the song as a reflection of his personal struggles during a difficult divorce. However, his perspective shifted, leading him to believe God was walking beside him. This inspired him to write the second verse, adding a message of hope and faith.
Since "Savior's Shadow," Shelton has consistently included faith-based songs on his albums. His latest album, 'For Recreational Use Only,' features "Let Him In Anyway," a powerful song that deeply moved a publishing executive. The executive experienced a heart event triggered by the song's emotional impact, highlighting its profound effect.
